Cuba faces recovery challenges after Category 3 hurricane knocks out power grid

Cuba is recovering from a Category 3 hurricane that knocked out its power grid. Hurricane Rafael caused significant damage, with strong winds and heavy rain affecting Havana and other areas. The storm has since weakened to a Category 2 as it moves toward Mexico. The hurricane previously impacted Jamaica and the Cayman Islands, causing flooding and power outages. Authorities in Jamaica are searching for missing individuals, while thousands remain without electricity. Evacuations took place in Cuba, with classes and public transport suspended in some regions. This storm follows a challenging period for Cuba, which recently faced widespread blackouts and another hurricane that resulted in fatalities. The government has issued warnings and taken precautions as residents prepare for potential further impacts.
